Duke Togo Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 The first movie was a couple of awesome scenes with Hit Girl surrounded by crap. I'll pass. Quote
Twoducks Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Nick Cage and Hit Girl were the high notes of the movie. Jim Carrey? Interested. Don't know how much they will follow the sequel comic. Read a few issues but got turned off by all the gratuitous violence with no strong story. Quote
EXO Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Hit Girl the movie woulda been good. CGM looks too old now. Quote
mechaninac Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Kick-Ass 2... because any original that sucked as bad as Kick-Ass did <sarcasm>absolutely needs</sarcasm> another go around to double down on the awful spectacle of it all... The original wasn't even worth a free rental, save for a few sequences as Duke mentioned, so this guaranteed turd-fest will be an easy pass all the way to it's all-too-quick cable debut. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Rather enjoyed the first, favorite scenes with Hit-Girl. That said the new trailer left me very underwhelmed with little to no interest in catching the sequel. Hopefully it's better then the preview indicated. -b. Quote
coronadlux Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 It's a fun kick them a$$ movie. nothing more nothing less. No Oscar worthy performances. Just good ol' fashion entertainment. Quote
Duke Togo Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 It's a fun kick them a$$ movie. nothing more nothing less. No Oscar worthy performances. Just good ol' fashion entertainment. I'd like you to define "good ol' fashioned entertainment" for me. Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 It's a fun kick them a$$ movie. nothing more nothing less. No Oscar worthy performances. Just good ol' fashion entertainment. Thats why I liked the 1st one, will I rush off to see part 2? maybe not, but I'll go see it. Quote
Keith Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 I see absolutely nothing ulikable in that trailer. Quote
Twoducks Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 I see absolutely nothing ulikable in that trailer. Does cringing a little after seeing the "Super Group" "patroling" all cocky in their homemade "suits" like they owned the streets count? Quote
electric indigo Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Does cringing a little after seeing the "Super Group" "patroling" all cocky in their homemade "suits" like they owned the streets count? I get that with every superhero movie. Maybe I'm just getting old. Quote
peter Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Haha, I'll actually go see this movie.....eat some popcorn, have a few laughs. At least I won't feel ripped off and all pissed off like I would if I went to watch TMNT or any MB Transformer movies. Quote
Fly4victory Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) This guy alone is reason enough. Edit: Didn't move or delete photo but reinserted it. Edited March 16, 2013 by Fly4victory Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Looks like a movie I'll wait for on blue ray Quote
Noriko Takaya Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Jim Carrey is the reason why I won't see this movie. F-ing hypocrite. Quote
Fly4victory Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Ugh! So you don't like Nick Fury or the Black Widow since the people that play them are big libs, also? There will not be many movies or shows you can watch. But,Yeah, the Carrey video is really bad but he has the right to be a dumb-a$$. Quote
areaseven Posted August 10, 2013 Author Posted August 10, 2013 Only one week left before its premiere, and the movie's cast is already stirring controversy. Despite playing one of the main characters, Jim Carrey has decided not to support the film due to the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting that took place a month after filming commenced. In response, Chloë Grace Moretz was quoted as saying:"If you are that easily swayed, you might see The Silence of the Lambs and think you are a serial killer. It's a movie and it's fake, and I've known that since I was a kid ... I don't want to run around trying to kill people and cuss. If anything, these movies teach you what not to do."Chloë Grace Moretz Blasts Jim Carrey's Stand Against Kick-Ass 2Editor's Note: Do not make this a political debate. Quote
mechaninac Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Ugh... And Jim Carrey has never been funny; but the fact he's delusional enough to believe that his opinion matters, or that he has any relevance at all, is hilarious. Quote
Keith Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Seriously. If he wangs to do something, he can donafe his film salery to some charity or another, or stfu. Quote

Keith Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 I know typos but... Yup, think I'll leave that one! Quote
Uxi Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 He was funny in Ace Ventura. And Dumb and Dumber. Mostly sucked at everything else, especially when he tries to be serious. Quote
areaseven Posted August 10, 2013 Author Posted August 10, 2013 Jim Carrey was funnier during the first three seasons of In Living Color. Quote
ErikElvis Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Jim Carrey is the reason why I won't see this movie. F-ing hypocrite. Exactly what Im thinking. Quote
technoblue Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Jim Carrey is the reason why I won't see this movie. F-ing hypocrite. Exactly what Im thinking. Yeah, that makes perfect sense! Wait. No it doesn't. Celebrities gand stand their opinions constantly. I'm not going to stop watching movies because they start puking stupid or challenging my ideals. That's hypocritical. Kick Ass was good. Kick Ass 2 will stand on its own merits regardless of what the actors say in public about high-profile tragedies turned political debates. And isn't that the point? Carrey was being a douche by making the new movie part of this larger debate. It shouldn't be. It should be just another blockbuster, good or bad. Edited August 10, 2013 by technoblue Quote
terry the lone wolf Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Shouldn't she be Hit-Woman right now to justify the eventual p0wn parody from VIVID films? Quote
Twoducks Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Don't see what people believe funny or not funny has to do with him not supporting the movie. The guy isn't a robot and can have his own free will and ideals. He signed for the movie THEN stuff happened that made him question the movie he was in but finished the job he was signed to do. Having to do now the Hollywood dick licking about a project he does not feel comfortable with should be perfectly ok. Says more about the man. And really, the comic is really just one of those 90's hollow blood wanks that almost sunk the comicbook industry dressed as being a "what would happen if people actually did this type of things", the movie follows the latter so no surprise if someone starts doing associations in their head after what happened. Does not mean people won't be able to see or enjoy the movie. Quote
kanedaestes Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Except the comic was made in the 2008 way after the industry rebounded Quote
Dobber Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Don't see what people believe funny or not funny has to do with him not supporting the movie.
